"Because China's market is big enough." Zhang Shuo said with a smile.

"But as far as I know, China's share of global smartphone shipments is not high." Elop is not that easy to fool.

"Wouldn't that just prove that the Chinese market still has huge potential?"

"I hope it's as you said."

Elop was also very sensible and did not inquire further.

Half an hour later.

The two signed the contract together under the witness of many media reporters.

The whole ceremony was actually very brief.

But the transaction itself was shocking enough that some reporters at the scene couldn't help but ask questions.

"I would like to ask Mr. Zhang, does the fact that Bud Ya spent a lot of money to purchase Nokia's patent license just prove that your company has insufficient research and development and can only rely on appropriation?"

When I first heard it, it sounded like old BBX, and it was full of provocation.

"There is a proverb in China: there is a hierarchy of knowledge and expertise. In terms of mobile phone R&D and design, Nokia is currently at the forefront. We learn from Nokia, which is understandable in itself. However, the development of smart phones has just started, and the embryo may not be the same in the future.

We can't catch up." Zhang Shuo looked calm.

If you really want to argue with these people, you will lose no matter what you say.

"You mean, sprouting will surpass Nokia in the future?" The other party said sarcastically.

"Hahaha!!!"

Many other foreign reporters at the scene also started to cheer.

Gu Mingzhang, who was standing behind Zhang Shuo, suddenly became serious and prepared to take decisive action.

But Zhang Shuo raised his hand to stop him.

"Whether Germination can surpass Nokia needs time to test. I am not a prophet and cannot judge in advance. But I have heard a saying that arrogance has never been the driving force for technological progress, humility is."

"brush!!!"

The reporter definitely didn't expect Zhang Shuo to be so tough, and he suddenly made a big fuss.

Other reporters also had stern expressions on their faces.

Those who were invited by Nokia to participate in the signing ceremony had some degree of professionalism, and they all heard what Zhang Shuo meant.

Some photographers even couldn't help but take pictures of this scene.

At least at this moment, Zhang Shuo's magnanimity and wisdom won their respect.

Even Elop glanced at Zhang Shuo without realizing it. He didn't expect that Zhang Shuo, despite his youth, would be so experienced in dealing with such difficult problems, and he would even take the initiative to stand up and smooth things over.

"good!"

The sprouting employees present could not help but applaud secretly.

Chen Xiaowan's face was even redder. She was angry at the reporter just now, and now she was excited. She looked at Zhang Shuo with eyes full of admiration.

The little fan girl is really convinced.

In any case, this press conference was a near miss.

After the press conference, the news that Sprout spent US$1.5 billion to purchase a patent license from Nokia quickly spread to all corners of the world with reports from major media.
